Last week, Bree attended a “Bike Camp” for kids with autism and other special needs to learn how to ride a bike. I was so impressed with their program! No training wheels! They got the kids riding some adaptive bikes with minutes of their arrival, which was a great confidence builder. Bree was nervous to […]

Sticky Floors
I can always tell when our favorite juicy fruits are in season (e.g. watermelon, Colorado peaches) by how sticky my kitchen floor is. Conundrum: Do I mop every.single.day to try to combat the stickiness (Ain’t nobody got time for that!) or just give up on non-sticky floors until September?

Space Needle, Then and Now
Us in Seattle on the Space Needle: Then (May 2000 as newlyweds) and Now (July 2018, with our three daughters along)

It must have not been as bad as she’d feared, as she proceeded to surreptitiously […]
Spheres
Earlier this week, we got to visit the Amazon Go Store (it felt weird grabbing items and then just walking out!) and Greg also took us into the Amazon Spheres (https://www.seattlespheres.com/) in downtown Seattle. Such a cool place!
Alki Beach
Alki Beach at low tide. The girls were a little grossed out by all the slimy seaweed exposed during the low tide, but we saw lots of neat ocean life, including a red lion’s mane jellyfish, anemone, and lots of crabs of several types. There were a few naturalists from the aquarium that were on […]
Banana Stand
There’s always money in the banana stand. (Or free bananas courtesy of Amazon’s Community Banana Stand, anyway.) I think it’s funny that we were served by a “banista.”
Health Points
Bree asked me recently, “Mom, how many health points do we have?”
